dc.description.abstract	Phosphate sorption isotherms were obtained for three acid highly weathered soils of Sierra Leone, by equilibrating air dry samples for 24 h with 0.01 M KH2PO4 solution at 25 °C. The Langmuir and Temkin equations were used to evaluate the sorption capacities for phosphate. Phosphate sorption maxima of 2439, 2137 and 1429 mg/kg soil and x/log c of 774, 718 and 610 were calculated; where x=phosphate sorbed (mg/kg soil) and c=equilibrium phosphate concentration (μmol dm−3). Qualitative relationships between these sorption parameters and other soil variables are shown.
